Happy Birthday cartesiandaemon and rjw76!Not 96, 76...

So, aside from me winning at statistics, other notable events would include:

• Last two bees' data collected for that particular experiment - we can now say goodbye to this useless colony and get set up with the new, shiny one due to arrive tomorrow.
  
• First day of departmental safety audits. From what I can gather, safety auditors don't give two hoots about people's actual wellbeing - their job is to produce laboratories in which there are a minimum number of opportunities for employees to sustain injuries over which they can sue the department. In other words, prevention of ambulance-chasers rather than ambulances.

Therefore I'll jump if they tell me to jump, since otherwise someone will tell me off, but I can't say I will ever like them. Blessedly, they seemed to decide not to visit the bee lab - the only visit I got was from one of them asking if this was the Plant Growth Facility (which amused me - the PGF is a million-pound brand shiny new building with climate-controlled "pods" to grow plants in; my lab seems to be stuck forever in the early 1990s and the only plants to be seen are a couple of sorry-looking cut snapdragon flower heads sitting in a beaker of water).
